Description
White Blazing Star adds height and elegance to Massachusetts gardens with its tall, rigid spikes of brilliant white flowers that bloom from mid-summer to early fall. This clump-forming perennial is especially striking when planted in masses, making it ideal for borders, naturalized settings, or as an upright accent in mixed beds. Its delicate texture and long-lasting blooms attract butterflies, offering both visual interest and pollinator support. White Blazing Star is hardy, disease-resistant, and thrives in full sun with well-drained soil.
With grassy green foliage that stays attractive throughout the season, White Blazing Star provides vertical drama while blending seamlessly with a variety of plant textures. It’s relatively low-maintenance, requiring only spring cleanup, and deer tend to leave it alone. This perennial may self-seed, so a bit of management can help maintain your desired garden look. White Blazing Star is a fantastic choice for Massachusetts gardeners who want reliable performance and a bold vertical element.
